more............... It was very moving there. I took photos of the regiments of my ancestors and family. I wanted to share with you, although you cannot get the real feel of it unless you are there. We actually went twice. The first time I met some WW2 R.E and they told me about their experiences on D DAY and D DAY 2. Great men.
When I was last there I got to talking to an attendant there. I asked a curious question about what it must be like down below as there is said to be nearly a thousand people burried under the cathedral. He told me that he had actually been down there and asked me over to see a book full of photos. It showed the crypt to be a huge area with arched ceilings. Bodies were like mummies without coffins. Lying in row after row. I couldn't get over it.
Wow, that's interesting, were they wrapped in a should? I remember watching a programme on TV about bodies underground, shelves of coffins!!! I guess we regularly walk over bodies everyday.
They were just wrapped up like mummies Sergeant. I think the main reason that they go down there is pest extermination. Must be a full time job.
